THE EVENING STAR, WASH BUILDING TRADE DECISION DELAYED Defense Motion to Quash Injunction Prolongs Fac- tional Dispute. The show-down looming in Dis- trict Supreme Court in the fight be- tween rival building trade factions of the American Federation of Labor, was delayed indefinitely today as the result of a defense motion to quash injunction proceedings instituted the building trades department which is recognized as “official” by the fed- eration, against the opposing faction headed by M. J. McDonough. The *“official” group, made up of seven unions with about 400,000 mem- bers and headed by W. J. Williams, seeks to restrain the other organiza- tion of 12 unions with about 250,000 members from exercising any func- tions. 1t also wants to recover all departmental effects in possession of the opposition. Holds Jurisdiction Lacking. Through Attorney Martin O. O'Don- ough the McDonough faction has al- leged that the court is without juris- diction because of the law to bar in- junctions proceedings as a weapon in labor disputed. It holds also that the federation which is backing the in- junction action, has no right to in- tervene in a departmental affair. When the rule to show cause came up for hearing before Justice Luhring this morning James F. Easby-Smith, counsel for the plaintiff, brought to the attention of the court the motion to quash, which takes precedence in the proceedings. and asked for time to answer. This was granted, and argument probably will be held within two weeks. Agree to Use of Board. Meanwhile, the two departments— Once George Ade was a young Jfact that ke is getting on.

Forced to Slow Up. The solemn truth is that he knows he is not as gay and juvenile as he was when he wrote stories about the Columbian Exposition in 1893 or went jaunting to Europe with John Mc- Cutcheon in 1895 or around the world with “Ort” Wells in 1910, and he cannot dash off a play in a few weeks, as I hurried out “The College Widow” in 1905. The \admission comes sadly, but when a man is 69 years old he has slowed up. He can pull himself to- gether, on occasion, and assume the vigor and pep and jollity of youth, but he is a little curtled above and a little tottering below. In other words, he is arriving at the “has been” stage, and the only candid and truthful thing to do is to await it. (Copyright. 1935. by North American Newspaper Alllance. Inc.)

WOoODWARD O™ I™F arp G Streets NGTON, CONFRONTS HITLER Fuehrer Secludes Himself to Decide Stand on Anglo- French Pact. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, February 11.—Germany, faced with the alternative of co-op- erating with her former World War enemies in the cause of European peace or rearming against the possibility of another war, stood at the crossroads of her foreign relations policy today. While Reichsfuehrer Hitler studied his course observers wondered whether he would accept the Anglo-French pro- posals for mutual defense or turn toward a.program of armed isolation. Reliable sources said Hitler had re- ceived unmistakable representations from the French and British Ambas- sadors that only by his acceptance of the London proposals could he hope to avert Germany's encirclement by a ring of unfriendly powers. The Fuehrer's ultimate decision may hinge to & large extent on his attitude toward the Eastern Locarno pact, sponsored by Russia and France. If he should feel compelled to repeat the opposition he expressed toward East- ern Locarno last September Germany probably would consider it necessary to take extra military precautions against possible Soviet attack. Sources close to the Reichswehr (standing army) said a decision to adopt a course of non-co-operation with the London program would en- tail Germany's equipping herself with offensive as well as defensive weapons. It also would undoubtedly involve, these sources said, immediate adoption of a plan for universal military train- ing. Faced with almost sole responsibil- ity for reaching the momentous de- cision, Hitler remained in virtual se- clusion. His policy was likely to be vitally influenced by the replies Germany receives to her request for clarification of various points in the Anglo-French agreement. - HIT COLDS BETWEEN THE EYES Never let a cold get a real start. The core and root of the cold lays in the nose and nasal pas- sages between the eyes—and that’s where you must attack it if you wish speedy relief. That is ex- actly what~ Ephedrinated Vapex Nose Drops do—that is why they bring such quick relief.
